If I'm low, may be my time to go,
But my liver should kick in though.
An incurable condition: Type 1 diabetes
Potentially fatal hypoglycemia- low blood sugar
Surprise onset, no forewarning, telltale symptoms absent
Abruptly overthrowing any semblance of cerebral control
Potentially fatal hypoglycemia- low blood sugar
Life saving glucose has been wiped out of the bloodstream
Abruptly overthrowing any semblance of cerebral control
Everyday tasks, so easy to execute, now impossible to perform
Life saving glucose has been wiped out of the bloodstream
The body breaking down without its required energy supply
Everyday tasks, so easy to execute, now impossible to perform
Consciousness depleted; extinction appearing to be the inescapable finale.
The body breaking down without its required energy supply
Yet out of the darkness comes life saving sweetness
Consciousness depleted; extinction appearing to be the inescapable finale
But resurrection by sugar has allotted another chance at existence
